Police have poked fun at Manchester City fans during another round of football banter on social media.

Officers taunted the Blues supporters during a reported theft of United shirts in Trafford.

GMP Trafford North posted on their Facebook site on Sunday night: “Break at Sports Direct Neary Way Large amount of Utd tops stolen, let us know if you get offered one. Unsurprisingly City tops not touched.”

The joke had been shared 410 times and attracted more than 340 ‘likes’ by Monday lunchtime.

GMP Stretford posted out the same line on Twitter ...

Cheryl Hewitt replied to the message: “After realising there was only 50,000 people at the huge City ground yesterday and some of them being Chelsea fans they realised it wasn’t worth nicking City tops, so Sports Direct is now feeling empty, bit like the City trophy cabinet. Well played yesterday City ...”

Yvonne Wallis clearly enjoyed the post: “You’ve made me laugh that much I’ve now got a six pack and didn’t have to move from my sofa! Best laugh I’ve had in ages.”

Charlotte Monroe Peel added: “Best status ever!!”

Angie Dennis replied: “Is there a bit of jealousy with City’s football score yesterday?”

Bernadette O’Hara added: “Oh dear feeling a little jealous then..?”

Police have not yet confirmed if any shirts were stolen from Sports Direct, or whether the entire incident was made up as a joke.

The latest City taunts on Facebook come after an officer poked fun at United fans using GMP’s City Centre account, prompting Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy to respond.
